Hey guys,
Im running through the EXS tutorials, and when I am in Sample editor selecting a region to "loop" using the marquee tool, no matter what I do it does not cycle through the region I selected with the marquee tool.
Here is the process.
1. Double Click an Audio Region which opens up the sample editor.
2. I sleect a portion of the region in sample editor.
3. I turn ON cycle mode in the Sample editor.
4. I click the play/speaker icon IN the sample editor.
Result - It plays the entire regions and does not loop.
Its driving me crazy, any ideas?
Is the behavior diffrent in Loigc 7.2.3?

I narrowed it down to this.
.caf apple loops - consistently exhibit this behavior
Convert the same Apple Loop to new audio file in .aiff - no problem OR if I use one of my own audio files (aiff) no problem.
When I use a .caf apple loop, it exhibits this behavior. (try 12-8 Jazzy Drumset 1 in Sample Editor, select a portion, and try to play it in Cycle mode)
This happens on 2 separate installations (of Leopard)
Can anyone else confirm this? Make sure its a .caf Blue or Green Apple Loop.

Hi Dion
You're right! I've just tried it on a couple of .caf apple loops and it won't loop a selection in the sample editor.
It seems this is a .caf bug and not OS dependent after all!
Thanks for posting your findings!
Cheers

Yeah - it was driving me crazy. I just ran into another .caf bug with Ultrabeat, so I gave it a shot.
I wound up using the 12-8 Jazzy Drumset loop in a song of mine, but I needed some individual hits from the Loop.
Cheers bud, if you ever figure out a .caf workaround I'm all ears.
Dion

Hey Dion
the .caf format is very new. Aside from the workaround of converting it to a new aiff/wav file, I think we'll have to wait till the next Logic update to get this one fixed.
If I figure anything out will post it here!

Apparently - No Apple Loops work in the editor. Only regular .aif and .wav.
I just tried an aiff apple loops and it did the same thing.
Ill just use the arrange window - and try to get back that wasted hour of my life :)
thanks as always.
